I.O. EM-12B Semi-Automatic 12 Gauge 18.5 3 5+1 Synthetic Black w/Pistol - Blue/Black, 18.5" Barrel, 5+1 Rounds, Synthetic, Fixed Stock

This shotgun ran great even with cheap Wal-Mart Federal bulk pack. I am happy with my purchase.

This shotgun appears to be cast not stamped. It takes saiga mags which are very easy to find. It will cycle bord shot and game loads, although highbrass turkey loads work very well as does buck of course. The three gas settings are helpful when shooting low velocity birdshot. The finish seems to be raw, not painted or coated with any discernible protectorate. Still adding a magpul ak stock and grip as well as an mlok foregrip really do enhance the looks of this shotty. Ive ran two 500 round cases through with no malfunctions. Rio 9 shot buck and Academy branded monarch high brass game load. The game load is incredibly cheap and has an even higher charge than the buck @ 1345fps. Also some winchester and federal low brass. Anyway, its not a vepr quality aesthetically but the function seems to be there. I am happy with my purchase and would recommend it to Ak fans out there.

After much anticipation I finally got to take this bad boy to the range this past weekend. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. I put about 150 rounds of Walmart federal 100 pack through it without a single hiccup. It shoots as good as it looks and everyone wanted their turn with it, cause I mean who wouldn’t want to shoot it. Was a little nervous having never heard of I.O. But I highly recommend this beast, built solid and shoots smooth.

Perfect! Out the box the action was glass smooth it has literally fired everything from cheapo walmart value box to wolf max dram. Took it to the police range and every officer and deputy rushed me to get some trigger time. I can personally tell you I've directed 15 LEO's to your site for the purchase of this weapon system. 5 stars!

Great gun so far. Cycles great

So I was a little hesitant on purchasing this shotgun for two reasons. First, I have never owned a shotgun before and second, I couldn't find a lot of reviews or videos for this gun so I decided to take the plunge. Within only a week I already had it in my hands inspecting it. Right off the bat I noticed it was built like an Ak47 so since I had owned one before I had started disassembling it like I already had one. I can say that the quality of all rivets and machine work are fantastic. The bolt is honestly my favorite part because of how smooth the action is! There is one weird thing about this gun and its the plastic insert that is used as a dust cover along side the safety. The insert feels like very cheap plastic material, but it's job is only to protect from dust. It wont really be grinding on anything or causing huge issues so I can overlook this for such a very well made and affordable shotgun. The stock, grip and magazine well are made of a heavy duty poly plastic and feel really good while you are holding it. Everything is sturdy and next to no rattle on the gun other then the sling mount in the rear. This gun came with two, five round magazines which were built very well and operated around 25 federal slug rounds without a hitch. No jams after unloading 25 slugs and 50 bird shot (Both federal brand).It also came with two extra chokes that seem well made, a small choke wrench, and screwdriver. All this is presented in a pretty blue box with padding so everything stays neat. Overall this gun is well built and very clean straight out of the box but, I hear a lot of bad reviews about IO Arms because of their AK's, but this shotgun is awesome, not to mention the awesome service while shipping and receiving it from Buds!
